Need some new music for the week? Look no further and give a first listen to Ebony Bones’ upcoming sophomore release, Behold, A Pale Horse via NPR Music. The British singer/songwriter is all over the place, in a good way as she spans all sorts of musical genres. Listen by clicking HERE and you’ll hear for yourself.
I had planned to post this yesterday but I guess the 4th of July celebrations got in the way! Either way, it’s time to head into the weekend and with that, here is a new playlist to crank up while you’re enjoying the holiday weekend. Hope you enjoy!
These days I wish I was back in college but not for the reasons you might be thinking. To be a student at NYU or USC is pretty special right now.
On the east coast, NYU with the assistance of Steven Van Zandt’s Rock and Roll Forever Foundation in partnership with the GRAMMY Museum are introducing Rock and Roll: An American Story (RRAAS), an interdisciplinary middle and high school curriculum that explores Rock and Roll from its roots in blues, country music, gospel, and R&B to its latest incarnations today.
Out west at USC, the university announced plans with Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre to develop an Arts Academy after a $70 million donation from the music heavyweights. The money will be used to create the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation will enroll 25 students beginning in 2014.
Hells yeah, came out on Record Store Day but how about this little collab from Manchester Orchestra and Grouplove – “Make It To Me.” Give a listen below.
Check out the stacked lineup for 2013 Outside Lands, August 9-11 at Golden Gate Park. C’mon Paul McCartney, Nine Inch Nails, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, Kaskade, Jurassic 5, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The National, Pretty Lights, D’Angelo, The Head and The Heart and a whole lot more!
They’re baaaaaack! Empire of the Sun just dropped the first single off their upcoming album Ice On The Dune! Give a listen! New album comes out in June.
My jaw is still on the floor scouring this lineup and seeing the insane amount of talent performing at Glastonbury this June 28-30. I mean just read through this thing a bunch of times. Sure The Rolling Stones, Mumford & Sons, Arctic Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal, Primal Scream, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Vampire Weekend, Elvis Costello, The Vaccines, Kenny Rogers, Ben Howard, Rita Ora, Rufus Wainwright, Jake Bugg, Haim, First Aid Kit all on the Pyramid Stage is enough to get most anyone to buy a ticket but just look at the Other Stage and the John Peel Stage.
Just take it all in.
